Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Mastermind



Wei Wangqing planned to find a restaurant to fill her stomach.

Seeing that the place looked decent, I went inside.

As a result, upon entering the lobby, they saw Zhang Tongyang confronting several men.

What a wonderful fate!

Wei Wangqing rubbed his forehead.

He turned to leave, intending to go to another restaurant.

As it turned out, the man spotted her and pulled her over directly.

"Come on, you be the judge. I clearly picked up his purse, but they insist I stole it. What kind of logic is that? Is it just because I'm good at it?"

Wei Wangqing was full of questions. What kind of technology is good?

but……

"This is your business, it has nothing to do with me."

"How could we be at odds? If it weren't for you, I would..."

"In short, you have to take care of this matter whether you want to or not."

What kind of robber logic is this?

"Aren't you guys, all grown men, whining over such a trivial matter? Isn't it annoying?"

One of the men on the other side was indignant, saying, "How can this be called a trivial matter? This is clearly an act of rudeness on his part. How can we tolerate such a despicable thing happening right now?"

"So tell me, was he just bored, stealing the purse and then returning it?"

The man continued, "Who in Nandu doesn't know that Zhang Tongyang's thieving skills are unmatched? Who knows if he's intentionally humiliating us?"

Wei Wangqing hadn't expected him to have this skill, the ability to steal things with a nimble hand?

Zhang Tongyang was furious: "I stole your purse? Even if I did steal, I would have principles. What is there for me to steal from someone like you?"

He shouldn't have done something so irresponsible, especially since it was misunderstood when he did a good deed.

Both sides glared at each other angrily.

Wei Wangqing found it somewhat amusing. Judging from the situation, Zhang Tongyang had indeed been wronged. However, his reputation was so bad that what should have been a good thing had turned into this.

"Uh, how's your cooking?"

Zhang Tongyang said proudly, "If I want, I can come and go as I please in the palace, and even the Prince Ye's residence is mine..."

"In short, I look down on his stuff; to even make a move would be an insult to my reputation."

Ye Wang's mansion? Wei Wangqing raised an eyebrow. Could this be what Ye Wang meant by falling into his hands? He really has some courage!

"You heard that too? He's too proud to lie. You, on the other hand, should take a better look at the people around you," Wei Wangqing said to the person who had dropped his purse.

"What do you mean?" the man asked, frowning.

"It's just what it sounds like." Just because he couldn't see it doesn't mean Wei Wangqing couldn't either. The person who spoke first was ostensibly standing up for his good brother, but he was actually trying to sow discord between the two, making things even more tense.

I guess he has a grudge against Zhang Tongyang.

Wei Wangqing realized he couldn't stay in this restaurant any longer, so he turned around and went to another one.

Zhang Tongyang followed, calling out, "Hey, wait for me."

"What are you doing following me here?" Wei Wangqing frowned.

"You helped me this time, so let's call it even." He patted Wei Wangqing on the shoulder as he spoke.

This person is really too familiar with others, Wei Wangqing frowned.

"What happened between us?"

Zhang Tongyang choked. Well, it wasn't a big deal, but he still got a scolding from his father because of it!

Forget it, a real man doesn't concern himself with trifles, he won't stoop to her level.

"I'll treat you to dinner." She probably came to the restaurant to eat.

That's a good option.

So, "Which one is good?"

Zhang Tongyang chuckled, "Ruyi Restaurant."

A table of dishes was served, and the two of them ate.

Actually, Zhang Tongyang didn't eat much; it was mostly Wei Wangqing who ate.

"Don't you have any good food in the Northern Dynasty?" Zhang Tongyang asked curiously, seeing how hungry the man looked.

"Yes, of course I am! I'm just hungry." Wei Wangqing said that she had come to collect the debt early in the morning, only to be fed a bellyful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and was kicked out before she could even eat a bite of food. When she finally got to the restaurant, she was dragged into mediating a fight. Did she have it easy?

Zhang Tongyang was not only curious about the Northern Dynasty, but also about Wei Wangqing herself. After all, he had never seen a woman like her before. She was like a man, yet she also had some characteristics unique to women. She was quite contradictory.

Are all women in your Northern Dynasty like you?

"It's alright. People are all different, but in our Great Wei, women are in charge, so naturally they have a kind of spirit that the women here don't have. If you're curious, you can go and see for yourself!"

“Okay!” Zhang Tongyang said with a smile.

Wei Wangqing was surprised that this person agreed so readily. Shouldn't he have declined and made excuses about how he couldn't go?

"Brother Wei, you must personally receive me then."

Wei Wangqing was taken aback by this address. Brother Wei, what the heck? He wouldn't actually think of her as a man, would he?

Zhang Tongyang laughed out loud at Wei Wangqing's expression: "You're so funny, much more interesting than my friends."

"What do you mean 'fun'?" Wei Wangqing said, indicating that he didn't want to talk to him.

After finishing the meal.

"Brother Wei, would you like to take a stroll around my Southern Capital? I can show you around; I know lots of fun places. Like which gambling den is the easiest to win money at, which brothel has the prettiest girls, and..."

"Stop, don't say anymore, I'm going back to rest." This guy is really shameless.

"Alright then, remember to invite me next time you go out, Brother Wei," Zhang Tongyang said with a grin.

"Okay, I understand," Wei Wangqing replied perfunctorily.

He then left, otherwise, getting into a fight with this guy would be endless.

Zhang Tongyang felt somewhat unsatisfied. It had been a long time since he had met someone who suited his taste so well. Moreover, this sixth princess was indeed different from others, wasn't she?

In recent days, rumors have been circulating that Prince Ye and the sixth princess of the Northern Dynasty are at odds. It is said that the princess fell into a coma at the embassy that day, and Prince Ye left in anger.

Everyone in the Southern Dynasty knows that Prince Ye protects his princess like the apple of his eye. Now that this person has an accident at the embassy, ​​how could Prince Ye possibly let the sixth princess go?

Neither Wei Wangqing nor Prince Ye took it seriously, mainly because they both knew exactly what was going on. Prince Ye was busy protecting his wife all day long and had no time to care about such things.

These days, Wei Wangqing has been staying at home, waiting to attend the Southern Emperor's coming-of-age ceremony.

The royal temple was teeming with people, and officials from all over the country gathered there.

The emperor was seated first, followed by the imperial family and relatives, then Wei Wangqing and the rest of the Northern Dynasty, with civil and military officials following behind.

The master of ceremonies ascended the stage, and with drums and music playing, announced: "Today is the day of the coming-of-age ceremony of our Southern Emperor, the beginning of his reign. We respectfully welcome the envoy from the Northern Dynasty to offer our congratulations and wish our two dynasties prosperity and continued progress hand in hand."

"Take your positions." After saying that, an official from the Ministry of Rites stepped onto the stage, carrying a tray with three completely different crowns on it, all of which were exceptionally magnificent.

"Open the ceremony."

Wei Wangqing was witnessing such a coming-of-age ceremony for the first time, but as for the original owner of this body, he couldn't even dream of it.

Looking at the young emperor above, dressed in a dragon robe and exuding an air of nobility, he wasn't exactly young anymore. Just by the way he was staring intently at Prince Ye, one could tell how deep his hatred for him ran.

After all, who would want to be an emperor and not hold power?

But there's always someone blocking your way, someone you hate and wish would die.
